Hi Monika & the Pawsome Duo,
We hope you had a Happy & Blessed Easter and the weather has warmed up a bit. It was hot here and the rain held off until tonight. I am looking forward to the cooler Autumn weather, but not too cold mind you.
We had a bit of a surprise today. Geoff found three kittens in our back shed. They look abut 2-3 weeks old and mother cat seems to be able to climb over the back fence without disturbing our dogs. So, much for three “working” dogs defending their turf. Wouldn’t have happened on Bilbo’s watch, although to be fair to the dogs, the cat can climb into the shed via the back fence and there’s a gate to keep the dogs out. So, the cat has chosen well.
Our elderly neighbours are in the business of feeding local wildlife and have fattened up young magpies, ducklings so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re throwing the cat some morsels or at least know where she comes from. That’s tomorrow’s job.
BTW thought you woujld like this dog post I came across: https://mcguffysreader.com/2017/07/22/life-lessons-from-my-dogs-velvet/
I am deeply in the throws of the A-Z Challenge. My theme for this year is “Letters to Dead Artists”. It’s a huge undertaking but I’m loving it.
Best wishes,
Ro

It’s okay, Sam, your (and Elsa’s) eggs won’t be empty. Labs are silly sometimes. Ducky is part Lab so I can say that…she’s silly 99% of the time! But her favorite “catch” is tree rat. Thankfully she hasn’t caught one in a long time!

My stupid “Like” button is being disagreeable (again!) today so I shared on Twitter instead.

I was reading an article about why dogs hate Easter (including they watch us eat those poisonous chocolates), and this seems to confirm that theory. Maybe your Mom can give you a real egg that magically appears from the fridge, Sam and Elsa?
Love and Happy Easter from the crew here in Chattanooga, too. ❤
